Not sure what to say?

Ridgeway was a positive force and paid back 10 fold of whatever he might have owed. He brought both delight and meaning to all who knew him.

I met Ridge and Jill on a plane en route to a destination family wedding. I felt immediately comfortable with them and loved their joyous spirit. Jill and I ran a race together that weekend. Many years later Ridge looked me up to talk about agricultural pollution in the Chesapeake and to let me know about the Chesapeake Legal Alliance he was launching with others. His passion was contagious. He will be missed. His legacy lives on in so many working to protect our waters. My best to Jill and...

MEMORIES OF RIDGE HALL March 4, 2024 Ridge Hall and I collaborated on dozens of environmental projects, large and small, legislative and regulatory for 40-years.

I had the privilege of teaching many environmental auditing courses with Ridge and always had the greatest respect for him and enjoyed the time I spent with him. He was a special person. I just learned of his passing in going through my contacts list. My thoughts go out to his family during this holiday season.

Memories of fun Charades at the Hall House in Stony Creek remind us of the zeal and zest with which Ridge and Jill enjoyed family life. Raking leaves or pick up soccer was an opportunity to enthusiastically live large. We miss you Ridge and love you for your spark and spirit directed to bettering the planet!

Jill I am so sorry to hear this, he was a wonderful guy and he will be missed

Ridge loved clean water and was a fierce advocate for it. He worked tirelessly for the Anacostia and I will be eternally grateful for his counsel. Rest in Peace Sir.
